Mosquito Control Australia

Mosquito Control Australia

Summer is in full swing here in Australia and that means one thing: mosquitoes! These pesky critters can make enjoying the outdoors a challenge, especially if youā€™re trying to avoid getting bit. Thankfully, there are a number of mosquito controls available to help you keep the bugs at bay. In this blog post, we will take a look at six of the best mosquito control Australia currently on the market today.

1) Natureā€™s Botanical

Key FeatureAustralian Pesticides & Veterinarian Medicines Authority registered
Where to Buyhttps://naturesbotanical.com/product/big-boy-bundle/
Price$75.00

The insect repellent from Natureā€™s Botanical is DEET-free and contains rosemary and cedarwood extracts. A creme, spray, and roll-on are among the varieties available. Overall, the components or ingredients are excellent, and it gives no hassle when applying them twice a day to the body. Most significantly, it works effectively against flies, which is what matters the most in my opinion.

However, the smell is quite strong and earthy but not too much that it would bother you out in public. If the smell is not a big deal, we highly recommend Natureā€™s Botanical! It compares favorably to some of the greatest mosquito repellent lotions available on the market.

Key Differentiators:

  • Cruelty-free, vegan friendly
  • Australian Pesticides & Veterinarian Medicines Authority registered
  • Deodorant, decongestant & moisturiser

2) BuzzPatch Natural Mosquito Repellent

The newest insect repellent trend is to apply a citronella a patch-like product that you put on your clothing and claim to protect your entire body from mosquitoes. The BuzzPatch Natural Mosquito Repellent protects your children by emitting a pleasant odor that repels mosquitoes. Itā€™s not designed for use on the skin but to be stuck on the clothes. Moreover, it would be a wonderful mosquito repellent option for babies under three months old.

Key Differentiators:

  • All natural essential oils

Customerā€™s Review:

They worked! I had a bite on my wrist and used them and it really got rid of the itch, almost immediately. I put them all over my children when they were covered in mosquito bites and they did not scratch at all. Loved knowing that I wasnā€™t putting chemicals on their gentle skin too.

3) Good Riddance Insect Repellent

Key FeaturePlant-based
Where to Buyhttps://goodriddance.com.au/good-riddance-tropical-insect-repellent-100ml.html

The Good Riddance Insect Repellent is effective, as it provides long-lasting protection against mosquitoes, midges, and sandflies with natural essential oil actives. Itā€™s a light, nourishing lotion with a fresh, vibrant citrus scent and undertones of Australian natives.

Meanwhile, the cream substance is heavy in shea and beeswax. It nourishes the skin and provides a second physical barrier against midges and sandflies without being sticky or greasy. The lotion aids in the retention of essential oils on the skin for longer than a spray, saving time and effort when reapplication is required.

Key Differentiators:

  • Plant-based
  • Paraben-free
  • Phthalate-free

Customerā€™s Review:

By far the best product Iā€™ve found to keep the mozzies and midges away. Plus it smells amazing and makes your skin so smooth and soft after putting it on as it feels like a moisturizer rather than sticky or oily sprays! Highly recommend.

Weā€™re huge fans of MooGoo so we had to give their Tail Swat Body Spray a try.
